April 12, 2009: Patch 1.2.1 added the new Team Battle Map "Tiber Outpost," and made a number of changes to PvP gameplay.

February 24, 2009: What should have been a small patch to fix the in-game news tab ended up being excessively large because an error was causing the patch to redownload files that already existed.

February 23, 2009: An update was released in an effort to fix an "out of memory" crash that was affecting certain systems, particulary 32-bit Vista rigs running the game with High or Ultra settings.

February 19, 2009: A hotfix was also released on the game's launch day, in addition to the major patch, to fix a bug that was causing campaign missions to stop populating after the game recovered from a random crash.Official Site: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Relic Blog
